First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. I. The Shadow of the Supermassive Black Hole in the Center of the Milky Way
The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
We present the first Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A), the Galactic center source associated with a supermassive black hole. These observati…
An Extension of the Athena++ Code Framework for Radiation-Magnetohydrodynamics in General Relativity Using a Finite-Solid-Angle Discretization
Christopher J. White, Patrick D. Mullen, Yan-Fei Jiang +4
We extend the general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) capabilities of Athena++ to incorporate radiation. The intensity field in each finite-volume cell is discretized in…
Wind-Fed GRMHD Simulations of Sagittarius A*: Tilt and Alignment of Jets and Accretion Discs, Electron Thermodynamics, and Multi-Scale Modeling of the Rotation Measure
Sean M. Ressler, Christopher J. White, Eliot Quataert
Wind-fed models offer a unique way to form predictive models of the accretion flow surrounding Sagittarius A*. We present 3D, wind-fed MHD and GRMHD simulations spanning the entire…
The Gravitational-Wave Signature of Core-Collapse Supernovae
David Vartanyan, Adam Burrows, Tianshu Wang +2
We calculate the gravitational-wave (GW) signatures of detailed 3D core-collapse supernova simulations spanning a range of massive stars. Most of the simulations are carried out to…
Millimeter Observational Signatures of Flares in Magnetically Arrested Black Hole Accretion Models
He Jia, Bart Ripperda, Eliot Quataert +4
In general relativistic magneto-hydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations, accreted magnetic flux on the black hole horizon episodically decays, during which magnetic reconnection heats up…
Magnetic Flux Transport in Radiatively Inefficient Accretion Flows and the Pathway towards a Magnetically Arrested Disk
Prasun Dhang, Xue-Ning Bai, Christopher J. White
Large-scale magnetic fields play a vital role in determining the angular momentum transport and generating jets/outflows in the accreting systems, yet their origin remains poorly u…
